Wendy Williams shows off her slimmer figure. (WireImage)The 5'11

Talk show host Wendy Williams turned heads on the red carpet Sunday night at the Broadway.com Audience Choice Awards in New York City when she showed off her svelte shape and small waist in a plunging, shimmering evening gown. And Williams, who hosted the event and will soon star in the Broadway production of "Chicago," has good reason to want to flaunt her figure … she's worked for it!

The 5'11" wig wearer recently announced on her online "After Show" segment that she's dropped 20 pounds since last May and is now down to 175 pounds. "[My weight] is under control although it can spin out of control at any given time. You know I love my food," Williams, 48, explains in the video, adding that she decided to drop the weight to get ready for turning the big 5-0 next summer.

LaToya Jackson talks to omg!. (Valerie Macon/Getty Images)Whatever you think of La Toya Jackson and the rest of her family, she wants you to know you're probably wrong.

"I think that when it comes to the Jacksons in general is that people think that they’re weird. They’re strange. They’re crazy. They're odd. And we're not,” she tells omg!. “We’re not any of those things. I want people to know that we’re just like you guys are. We're no different."

And if you also thought that Jackson, now 56, might have been jealous of her more famous siblings, the late Michael (who passed away in 2009 at age 50) and sister Janet, now 46, well, wrong again.

The Splurge: An IMAX private theater in his Beverly Hills mansion, according to The Hollywood Reporter. (MacFarlane's publicist did not respond to a request for comment.)

How Much: Reportedly between $1 million to $2 million.

Why It's Completely Over-the-Top: IMAX Corporation currently operates nearly 700 theaters around the world that show both 2D and 3D movies using proprietary technology to create a more "immersive effect" for the audience … but of course you've actually got to sit next to strangers if you visit one of these theaters. Those who want a private version in their own homes have to be pretty serious movie buffs with lots of money to burn … and it sounds like the 39-year-old qualifies on both counts. MacFarlane has already installed a $35,000 projector to screen first-run movies that cost $500 a pop.

If you've ever worn super-short, cut-off jean shorts known as Daisy Dukes (or admired someone who has), you have one person to thank for them: Catherine Bach.

On the latest episode of "Sunday Dinner With …" we catch up with the actress who played the iconic role of Daisy Duke on the legendary '80s TV series "The Dukes of Hazzard."

TwitterIn the world of showbiz, divorces are as common as Botox and it’s not easy to name a celebrity couple who's still happily together after more than a decade and a half of marriage.

Well, Kelly Ripa and Marc Consuelos are one of the few! The couple celebrated their 17^th wedding anniversary on Wednesday and to mark the occasion, the “Live With Kelly and Michael” host posted to Twitter a pic of herself and her hubby back on the day they tied the knot.

WhoSayIf you're looking for a good bakery to get your mom the perfect cake for Mother's Day this year, don't ask James Franco.

The "Spring Breakers" actor, who turned 35 on April 19, posted a pic this week to his WhoSay page of the very racy red confection he received, topped with fondant versions of sex toys including a whip, strap-on, ball gag, and more (we'll let you see for yourself).

InstagramNeil Patrick Harris is the epitome of a true Renaissance man. He's a big TV star, Broadway singer and dancer, serious magician, and even serves as the voice of a Disney theme park ride.

This week, Harris showed he may have a little interest in detective work (and pipe smoking) when he launched his new Instagram account with an inaugural photo of himself dressed up in an elaborate Sherlock Holmes costume. And he pulled out all the stops, accessorizing with a houndstooth cape, matching hat, magnifying glass, and, of course that signature pipe. Fiancé David Burtka played Watson to his beau's Holmes, donning a newsboy cap, bowtie, fake mustache, eyeglasses and holding a cup of tea.

And there was a good reason for the costumes: "At our great friends, Becky Baeling & Kris Lythgoe's murder mystery wedding," he captioned the pic. "The game, as they say, is afoot."

Songstress Pink has always seemed like a pretty tell-it-like-it-is kind of gal, but in a new interview with Glamour magazine she goes a step further, explaining why she chose to include tunes like “Slut Like You” and “Walk of Shame” on her most recent album, 2012’s “The Truth About Love.”

"Oh, yeah. I'm a reformed slut," she says in the magazine's May issue, explaining, "It's my very unsophisticated way of taking the power back. I've always had an issue with [the idea that] 'OK, we've both decided to do this. Why am I a slut and you're the player? You didn't get anything from me that I didn't get from you.'"

The pop star reveals a much more benign tidbit in the article: She once was the object of a certain boy bander's affection back when she opened for *NSYNC during the group's summer 2000 concert tour. "Joey Fatone was in love with me," Pink insists. "He took me to Friendly's on a date, and he bought me an ice cream. Such a sweetheart.
